Do
you think your email messages look ugly and impersonal? It's not hard to fix and
it won't take more than five minutes...does it sound like an advertisement for
a new exercise machine? Sorry to disappoint
you but it's not...

PERSONALIZING YOUR
EMAIL MESSAGESis really easy and fun
too. As you might have noticed most people have a small tag (its real name is
signature) in the end of their email messages which may contain information
about what they work with, phone numbers, contact address and sometimes also a
funny or clever quote. This gives a personal touch to the email messages and it's
not hard to do at all. So if you're an Eddings fan why not create your own personal
email signature with your favorite Eddings quote?

WHAT YOU MUST DO FIRST
is to write the text.
The easiest way to do this is to use a text-editor (e.g. Windows Notepad). Don't
make the signature too wide (max 40 characters) as most email software can only
show text at that maximum width without line breaking it (line broken signatures
are really ugly).

The signature above is a bit too long, it should
be maximum four lines. But that's just rule of thumb so it's up to you to decide.
Also try to avoid using long quotes or use only a part of the quote (as seen above).
Eddings-quotes can be found on the quotes-page
at Jack's David & Leigh Eddings Site (or if you don't want
to use an Eddings-quote there are lots of them available at
ToInspire.com, there are also lots of email signatures available for free
at Siglets.com).
Next step is to save your file as a raw text file, possibly with file extension
.txt.

WHEN YOU'VE CREATED
YOUR SIGNATURE it's time to configure
your email software. Refer to the help files of your email software for information
on how to use your signature.
In Netscape select Edit-->Preferences and double-click on Email
and newsgroups and then on Identity. Beside the field Signature
file click Browse to find the file with your signature.If you are using Hotmail or any other web-based
email service you can often write your own signature by changing your options.
Refer to online help of your email service for further info.

Good Luck!

~ Q U E S T I O N ~

Do Beldin
and Vella stay as hawks for the rest of their lives or are they going to change
into other creatures?
Sorry, no answer to this one since nothing is said in the books about Beldin's
and Vella's destinies so it's entirely up to the reader to decide it.

Do Beldin and Vella ever visit or just go off to never
be seen again?
Same answer as above.

If the prophecy is off to work in another galaxy, why
are there still disciples and their long-spanned lives?
We know that the disciples were left when the prophecy had finished its task however
we do not know whether they still are "immortal" and still have long-spanned
lives. This is not told in the books.
If this is the case some interesting questions arise concerning the Rivan royal
family. Examples are:

Will Belgarion's son never become the king or will
Belgarion hand over the crown when his son is old enough?

Will Belgarion and Ce'Nedra live differently long
lives?

Who was the eldest to youngest
Gods?We do not know exactly but we know that UL is the father
of the other Gods, therefore is UL the eldest God, in contrast to Eriond who is
the youngest .

Whose colors were whose?I have compiled a list of the Gods and their
respective peoples and colors. It's available at the Eddings
web site and can be found by clicking the 'Worlds' button and proceeding to
the Belgariad/Malloreon world page..

Does Zedar ever get out
of that rock?
He never does. Somewhere in a dialog in one of
the books Belgarath comments and defends this action. Unfortunately I have not
been able to find it again. If you know please quote it and email
it to me, thanks.

If you have a question email
it to me and perhaps your question will be answered in the next issue of the
newsletter.

There
have been some additions and updates made to the web site. These are the ones
made on October 18th 1999:

QUOTES
- The number of quotes continues to soar. See if you can find your favorite quote
for your personal email signature (visit
the Eddings web site and click the 'Quotes'-button).

MUSIC- As some of the people who visit the web site
regularly might have noticed I removed the background music from the web site
some time ago. But now it's back, completely remade as a "jukebox" which
is shown in a separate browser window and with ten different MIDI songs to choose
among (visit
the Eddings web site and click the 'Music'- button).
If you think there's a song that would fit the Eddings web site perfectly, don't
hesitate to email me.(In order to be able to listen to the background
music your computer must be equipped with a sound card and your web browser must
support JavaScript 1.1 or later (supported by Netscape 3+, Internet Explorer 4+).
You must also have a MIDI audio plugin installed. If not the browser will show
an error message and will suggest you to download a plugin.)
